A Christmas Child: A-Sketch-of-a-Boy-Life
125 pages
Christmas week a good many years ago. Not an “old-fashioned” Christmas this year, for
there was no snow or ice; the sky was clear and the air pure, but yet without the sharp,
bracing clearness and purity that Master Jack Frost brings when he comes to see us in one
of his nice, bright, sunny humours. For he has humours as well as other people—not only is
he fickle in the extreme, but even black sometimes, and he is then, I can assure you, a most
disagreeable visitor. But this Christmas time he had taken it into his head not to come at all,
and the world looked rather reproachful and disconcerted.
